be conducted on the basis OF Civil Engineer
Menocafs surveys OF 1885, with the addition or a
survey with view to constructing a canal en-

Dr. Bacon Must Go.
THE SAVANNAH PREsBYrERrAN CHURCH REYUsng 10
ENGAGE HIM PhRNANRNTLY.


1Hr SAVANNAH PREssYrHnIAx CHURCH RrTuss 10
ENGAGE HIN PERMANENTLY.
The independent Presbyterian church Of eavAn
nah yesterday refused, by vote Of 1856 to lie. 70
make the Rev. Leonard wooleey Bacon its perma
nent pastor. DR.. Bacon says SAVANNAH dispatch
to the New York SiSn, came there from Connecticut
year ago on trial. He is q son Of the well-known
New England clergyman OF his name. He holds
advanced views on the negro question. ana Y 2
summer he preached q Fourth OF July sermon
whic1excfted the indignation Of Q large portion
OF the congregation on account Of comparison
involving Lee and Lincoln, and the night TO Gust
hun dates from the delivery OF that sermon. A
feature OF the contest u the TACT that
Gen LAYTON, minister to Austria; Col OlmStoo,
Gen. Alexander, and other distinguished ex-
Confederates fought for DR.. Bacons retention.
The night during last week was marked BY
considerable bitterness, and the canvass TO
bring out full vote WAS almost equal TO the work
OF ward politicians In closely contested election.
Ihomas n. Harden, o wealthy insurance man,
capped the climax by asking DR.. Bacon through
newspaper II the report was true that he would
not object TO his daughter walking the streets
leaning on the arm OF q negro, would not object TO
her marriage with negro, IL that was her desire,
ana whether he believed In mixed schools In his
sermon yesterday morning, alter remarK1ng that
a newspaper man bad been found who for hire
would publish wanton insult to an innocent
puted 70 him and counseed harmony in the
churcn. While slight doctr1nal differences and
other incidents have entered into the fight to
minor degree, there undoubtedly would not have
been serious split II DR.. Bacon had been south

English and American Craft.
WHY LIEUT.. HEM THINKS THE AMERICAN YACHT r
SUpRRlOp

SUPERIOR
Lieut.. HEM has written to the London Field his
views concerning American sailing craft as fol-
lows: "Thelr ordinary coasting schooners would
give many OF our cruising schooner-yachts all
they could do to beat them, and most OF the
Gloucester fishing schoOners 10 say nothing Of the
pilot boats, can leave most Of our cruising yachts
out OF sight. The average American cruising
yacht is think, kept In better order, with fewer
men in proportion 10 her size and spread OF canvas
than ours are. The discipline on board Is better
and vessels are very much faster. This last Is
In some measure due to the fact that they carry
more canvas In proportion than our cruisers do
and rule their sails are better cut and SET But
taking them all round, our cruising vessels are
superior as regards accommodation below. The
new type VI centerb0ard sloops and schOoners
ought TO be pretty well known over here by this
time so that II is needless for me to say more ex-
cept that all this talk about their being unsea.
worthy vessels is sheer nonsense. Under certain
conditions OF wind and weather the Genesta or
Galatea might perhaps prove drier and easier.
But for speed, especially to the wtndward In ordi-
nary regatta weather, their Is no question In my
opinion OF their superiority to anything we have
at present. Any one Who il called upon to design
keel boat to beat a keel boat which, In addition
carries a centerboard which all Burgess boats DO,
will have pretty big contraL, and failure Is
more likely than success"

MONEY FREELY UsED BY THE DEFENDANTs IN CALI

dispatch from San Francisco says that within
the two weeks just passed two new cases of 1udi-
cial bribery have been discovered. One was in the
United States Court where Jas Harkins CHARGED
with smuggling $4,000 worth OF opium, secured
dismissal OF the case against him by paying Al 200
to j. +. Obeyrne. United states commissioner. who
had the case In hand. He was subsequently tried
for bribery, but the jury failed TO agree on the
Obeyrne weakened and confessed 70 receiving The
bride Of 8, 200. His confession resulted In con-
viction OF q worse crime than smuggling Stimuli.
taneously with this disclosure there was filed a
charge OF 1ury-btbing against ex-EuperiOr Court
Clerk Edward OConn0r, who Ia now an UNDER
sheriff. The charge h made by G. e. Kiuard
who was one OF the talesmen called in the case
wherein the bribery is alleged TO have taken place
The suit was that OF Martln White va Merrill ct
al, to recover damages for mismanagement Of 4
m.ne In which the parties TO the suit were inter-
ested. The bribery ID alleged TO have been done
on behalf OF the defendants. The matter ts now
under Investigation by the grand Jury. Kinard
has made an af1davit that OConnor had Wrftten
him letter Offering him $500 II he would vote for
the defendants In case he was selected "a one Of
the jurors. When OConn0r was QuesttOned he
appeared very indignant and denounced the
charge a. malicious scheme TO ruin his repufa-
ton.

A MilliOnaire's Secret Marriage.
n rs NOT DISCLOSED UNTIL AFTER HIS DEATH.


Samuel c. Tatum, OF Cincinnati died at his home
in Avondale, Ohio, on Tuesday. Tatum was only
thirty years OF age, but was reputed to be worth
&I.OO0,OOO. He was peculiar in many ways, and
by his friends was considered q woman hater.
After his death strange woman visited the house
and demanded to see her husband. She showed a
marriage certificate that was issued to samuel C.
Tatum and Marie Frances Emonnin on July 5,
1885, and was admitted as the wire of the dead
man. She is the daughter Of poor but respectable
parents: -Four years ago she went to Cincinnati,
where she entered hospital TO die from the effects
OF tumor. Here she first saw Samuel Tatum,
and 1t was the old story OF acquaintance love- and
marriage, all OF which was secretly Accomplished.
They were married In Cincinnati under the ncti-
tious names OF Herbert Linton and Fannie
Thresher. The young ladys parents never knew
their son-in-law by any other name However,
the young wife induced him TO re-marry her BY his
and her right name, and to DO this they went TO
Buffalo, where on July s. 1885, they were married
under their proper names. They returned to Gin
cnnati, where they lived still under the name of
Linton, the husband, OF course, using both names.
The Tatuns received the wife into their family,
and she is now with them In Ayondale. The couple
have had child, which, however, lived only few
months.
